Sharon Underwood - WHY IS THIS OKAY? (Oregon)
I’m losing everything. My fiancee is wonderful and my landlords are trying to be helpful. I filed for a new restraining order and plan to move. I feel like my son’s left me no choice. He’s in jail and will be for a while. I don’t know if I’m relieved to not be terrorized every day or profoundly struck with heartbreak and guilt. I’m now $5000 in debt and have, for all intents and purposes, lost my son.
I'm sick of this terrible disease. I’m sick of the terrible system that governs it. The cops all know he’s sick. The doctors all know he’s sick. The judges all know he’s sick. I can’t believe my sick son can be left to his own devices. I can’t believe that the only treatment he’ll get will be in jail or prison.
Why is this okay? Tim talks like he’s 10-years old. How is this okay?
